Extra Working Bee Waiwhakareke Natural Heritage Park
Dear Friends of Waiwhakareke
and all Hamilton Residents
Your help is needed.
With the growth of grass with spring, there is a need to hold some extra working bees to release the 2020 plantings. An extra working bee will be held on Saturday, 14th November, with an earlier start of 8 am-11 am. We will meet in the Car Park opposite the Zoo Entrance.
Bring sturdy footwear, and gloves. Leg protection is advisable (trousers rather than shorts) and a long sleeved shirt.
Also bring: Food and drink for your morning tea.
Keep an eye on our FaceBook page for any additional notices, and for a report and photos of the day.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
Do you think this ban is reasonable?

Have you come across many roadworks sites recently?
The frustration of seeing a detour sign partway through your journey on the main highways possibly the new way forward when it comes to roadworks.
One of the latest areas to have a section of the road blocked off is State Highway 1 between Putāruru to Tokoroa as part of a massive renewal project that extends down to Waiouru.
